NBC Select Editors Pick 20-Plus Amazon Prime Day 2026 Buys Through June 26

3 articles · Updated · NBC News · Jun 25

Summary

  • Prime Day runs through June 26, and NBC Select editors said they are buying discounted staples themselves after weeks of sorting through thousands of deals for readers.
  • The purchases skew toward repeat-use essentials—skin care, hair products, sunscreen, trash bags, dish soap refills and pet supplements—rather than one-off splurges, with several editors saying they stock up when prices drop.
  • A smaller set of buys targets summer and travel needs, including a hot-drink bottle, a crossbody phone case, sticky nipple covers, a portable fan, a tumbler and a clothes steamer.
  • The roundup doubles as a shopping guide for Prime members, using editors' own carts to spotlight products they already use regularly or have been waiting to buy on sale.
